Mother Africa

Haiku Poems — Dedicated to the Spirit of Africa

Inspiration can be drawn from different sources, but occasionally you encounter a moment where something triggers a fire that rages inside. It forces you to step outside of your box and rise above your own boldness.

I read a piece by Ntathu Allen that evoked that energy inside and my lion spirit decided to roar. Thank you Ntathu for the encouragement.

I was inspired to write this piece after I read a powerful poem written by Cocoa Griot, you can read her poem below. Thank you, Cocoa for the inspiration.

Ancestral spirits tribal race flows through your soul Mother Africa

Melodic rhythms from drums, beat of ancestors’ past Mother Africa

Land of diamonds, birth place of pure royal bloodlines Mother Africa

Native tongues speak the language of warrior tribes Mother Africa

Sub-Saharan land courage of lions — fierce and bold Mother Africa

Thank you Cocoa Griot and Ntathu Allen for showing your support and for your unmatched courage. You have truly been an inspiration to me.
